Chapter XIX.—Imitating these
examples, let us seek after peace.
Thus the humility and godly submission of so
great and illustrious men have rendered not only us, but also all the
generations before us, better; even as many as have received His oracles
in fear and truth. Wherefore, having so many
great and glorious examples set before us, let us turn again to the
practice of that peace which from the beginning was the mark set before
us;8686 and let us look stedfastly
to the Father and Creator of the universe, and cleave to His mighty and
surpassingly great gifts and benefactions of peace. Let us contemplate
Him with our understanding, and look with the eyes of our soul to His
long-suffering will. Let us reflect how free from wrath He is towards all
His creation.
